<p>[QUOTE="Exodus_gear, post: 4803011, member: 35783"]The thing with water soaking is that most contain mineral agents. From tap water to bottled, what could end up happening is it could reactivate the green meanie (bronze disease) if it is not properly dried and the water gets into little areas you can't reach. If applying water I would recommend a light swabbing with a Q tip of distilled water. Afterwards be sure to either bake the coin, catch some sun and try and dry it, or use a silica moisture absorbing pack (place it in baggie with it)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
